"What was that all about?" Eren asked.

"I have a bad feeling about this." I muttered. After a few minutes of wait the blue flare went off. 

'An order for retreat...something went wrong didn't it?'

"We're preparing to retreat immediately. Get on your horses." I ordered.

"You heard her...let's go see what the bastard inside looks like."Oluo said. Eren and Petra took care of their gas and so did everyone else.

"Will we really find out who it is?" Eren asked innocently.

"It's thanks to you." Petra told Eren.

"I didn't do anything." Eren retorted, sort of feeling useless.

'You were the perfect bait.'

"You had faith in us."

'Same thing, just better words.'

"This is the result of your choice to trust us back then. Making the right choice isn't easy." Petra said to make Eren feel better.

"Hey, don't spoil him Petra...what did he do anyway? He was pathetic. He just kept whining. Well, coming back alive on your first excursion is pretty good. But it doesn't count until the mission's over. Listen kiddo, the expedition lasts until you're at home in bed..." Oluo spoke.

"When you two have children I'd like to see who's the one that spoils them." I joked.

"CAPTAIN!" Both of them shouted.

"What? You can't be denying the fact that you'll be married and likely have children." I shrugged and zipped to Levi and my horse with Eld and Gunther behind me.

"Oluo! Petra! You guys pissed your pants and cried on your first mission. You're all grown up now!" I laughed and turned to look at Petra who screamed in embarrassment.

"Don't say that! What if he stops respecting me!?" She shouted.

"It's true?" Eren asked surprised.

"It sure is...and I didn't, by the way Eren." Eld replied.

"Idiot! I've killed more of them than you! More of them than you, idiot!" Oluo shouted to subdue his embarrassment.

"Kill count isn't all that makes a soldier." Eld retorted.

"Shut up, idiot!"Oluo shouted.

"Petra-san..." Eren called out...I had a feeling he'd say something...weird, or naive.

"Does that mean you sprayed it everywhere while mid-air?"Petra blushed even more after hearing the question. I laughed at the question like never before.

"Shut up! Do you think you're on a picnic? We're outside the walls! I didn't piss my pants either Eren." Gunther said. Immediately after a green smoke signal was fired.

"Oh, I'm sure that's the signal from Captain Levi. We'll rendezvous with the Captain! Cut the chatter til we get back." Something felt off. My instincts told me, but I had no other choice but to just stay alert. Gunther had already fired back. We continued to move forward at the same speed. I spotted someone behind us.

"Captain Levi?" Gunther mumbled.

"No! It's not Levi!" The person turned using a tree and zipped towards Gunther with their sword out.

"Get out of the way!" I shouted out to Gunther. When I thought he wouldn't make it, I sent the wire hooks towards Gunther. It pierced through his arm possibly making a hole in it, I pulled it back so he was out of the way. He wasn't completely out of the way but when the hooded figure attacked him, he wouldn't get severely injured. The hooded figure sliced his arm, blood oozed out with such intensity, we thought he'd die of blood loss.
